Another reason I absolutely LOVE this workout program is because for 6 days out of the 42 (every 7 days) I get to see how the cast is doing on their own journey. How they are feeling. What they are conquering or still struggling with. Their thoughts about how things are going. And it’s REAL EMOTION! 🤯Knowing that not only is my group on this journey with me, but so is the cast! Honestly, watching the cast share their journey with us and knowing that they will break though gives me that much more strength and hope that I will break through as well! 💖 Whether it’s:
.
⇨Self-doubt
⇨Self-image
⇨Loss of a loved one
⇨Anxiety
⇨Depression
⇨Fatal situation
⇨Finding positive things about yourself
⇨Stretch marks
⇨Being molested
.
Or whatever it is that you’re going through in life, just know that you are strong enough and that you can break through it! 👊 You just have to be willing to work hard and conquer those struggles. 💪

I started a new program last week. It is 6 weeks long. It has workouts for 6 days of the week. The workouts are 20 minutes each day.
.
When I heard about this workout program, my first thought was that it was going to be easy. It’s only 20 minutes...no big deal, right? Well, I’m here to tell you that 20 minutes a day can completely kick your booty!!
.
I completed my first week. You guys all saw my posts in my stories. I worked hard and I tried hard. I did my best on each move and I finished my 20 minutes each day. The result was a lot of sweat, some sore muscles (I guess there were some that I hadn’t been working lately), and a feeling of accomplishment. I did it!
.
Today I started week 2 of this 6 week program. I’m focused. I will succeed and I will improve. I took pictures, measurements, and my weight at the start. I am so excited to see how far I can push myself by the end of this program. So excited!!!
.
I keep saying this over and over. If I can do it, you can do it!! If you have been watching from the sidelines and you want to get started, I’m here to support you. I promise, I got you!!! You just have to take a leap of faith and I will be right there to catch you. So what do you think?

I stare at the screen like I want to etch my thoughts upon it via quantum osmosis. Writing is a mind game that mirrors evolution and the rise and fall and rise again of civilization. Let me explain: You play cat-and-mouse with ideas that appear and disappear leaving a trail of hints. As you hunt down the hints the ideas coalesce but something even more magical happens. The landscape around them now becomes visible. You begin to see the entire structure not just the scaffolding. You get excited. More ideas pop up. They too disappear before you can catch them. But by now you already know the general direction they are running towards. You devise clever shortcuts to get ahead of them. New snares to catch them. And as they bear fruit and your traps are now full of what you’ve been hunting your role as a writer changes. Whereas before you had too little, now you have too much. Too much of anything, as anyone who’s attempted to empty a barrel of water by drinking it all, will tell you is also no good. So now you need to morph. The writer changes from being a hunter-gatherer to being a farmer. Some ideas need to be cultivated further so they can bear better fruit. Others need to be ruthlessly pruned, wiped out from the framework of the book in order to create order. Order is necessary for meaning to surface, so that the words and sentences, paragraphs and chapter, actually make the kind of sense that helps all readers change their lives. It sounds exciting except I have been staring at that screen and playing this game now since 7.30am and at the time of posting this it’s 11.00pm and my day is far from over. That’s why a writer’s best friend is coffee. I am going to need more coffee. #writing#writer#writerscommunity#writerslife#writers#thesnipermind#willpower#focusedonmygoals#focus#writingtips

I got a little frustrated the other day...

Dropping out of college to focus on your business, isn't as fun as it may seem on Instagram. While there are benefits, there are defiantly downsides. Instead of painting a perfectly curated picture of how amazing it is, I'll let you in on some not so pretty secrets.
🌹
1. Your path is super confusing
When you're in college, you know exactly the day you're going to get your degree and graduate. You have an end date. There isn't a set, predetermined date that your business will take off and you can quit your job. So that means you're left putting in all this work without knowing when it'll pay off.
🌹
2. It gets boring
Remember how you lived with your best friends? Could hang out with tons of people by walking like 5 mins? Had tons of activities and places to be? Let's just say my work schedule is less enticing. Haha.
🌹
3. You often wonder if you made the right decision
Some days you don't think about it. Other days it pops into your brain. Did I do the right thing? And then you think about it. You question it. And you wonder how different your life would be.
🌹
My answer after some contemplating is always yes. I'm doing the right thing. It's harder to see right now because I'm uncertain of the future. But as more is revealed and my path continues to unfold, it will be so crystal clear that I did the right thing.
🌹
Woah. That was a lot. Did you read the whole thing? Let me know if you did in the comments below because you're extremely awesome!

Today was one of those days I really didn't feel like going to the gym. But once I got there and got going that switch flipped and I felt at home. Just need to keep that mindset when I get back home and make sure I push thru. Managed to add 12lbs to my close grip press, and thanks to poor kg to lb conversion, I upped my barbell curls by 22 pounds.
